I'm trying to think of ways to defend my LEGO castle. Is there a way I can shoot some flaming arrows into the hearts of the invaders? Maybe some burning oil?

Deciding how to defend your castle admittedly sounds like a subjective question.– mindstormsboiCommented May 14, 2020 at 1:31

Burning oil is the easier of the two, since the basic flame elements
can connect into a realistically looking stream of liquid fire:
Depicting individual arrows is a lot harder due to the absence of a single arrow piece (aside from the proportionally way oversized harpoon piece), and adding a flame piece is even harder. Your best bet would probably be adding a flame piece, any of the several sizes available to a shield:
Or use a flame piece with a shaft as a combined arrow and flame:
But if 3rd party pieces are not out of question, you can get some convincing results, in this case with Brickarms arrows:

I just emailed brickarms and they say they don't sell arrows anymore - too bad. Commented May 14, 2020 at 15:23

1That flame shaft looks like it could work. Could I combine one of those with a signal paddle (part #3900) somehow, perhaps with an appolo stud (part #85861). Then attach the paddle to a stoplight to allow for some arbitrary rotation. Would that work? Commented May 14, 2020 at 15:29
